I waited patiently for the LORD to help me, and he turned to me and heard my cry. He lifted me out of the pit of despair, out of the mud and the mire. He set my feet on solid ground and steadied me as I walked along. He has given me a new song to sing, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see what he has done and be amazed. They will put their trust in the LORD.
- Psalm 40:1-3

Gracious God, You are a God who hears the cry of Your people! Though I face many trials, I trust that Your Word is true; You will not leave me in the pit. Let me stand as a one who has made it through the valley of death, and with songs of praise let me give all the Glory to Your Name. Amen.
